where you have a file called .dodsrc in your home directory which looks

Otherwise you need to use the statically linked version of the source if you
want to compile it yourself.<BR><BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hi there<BR> This seems more to be a
network problem, see if you can ping the monsoondata server from the
box, if not then thats the area to look in, otherwise if you are behind
a proxy server you may need a .dodsrc config script to point grads to go
via the proxy server.<BR><BR>
